Gay has hip surgury

hope he gets back stronger than ever

Wasn’t he suffering hip problems in 2009 too?

he was having adductor/groin probs at some stage

Hmm, what aspect of sprinting could cause the need for this kind of surgery?

One of the articles states that the surgery is to correct an “impingement” At his age I would guess that it is a congenital issue that is being blamed for his hip pain. I really hope they aren’t grasping at straws here… the decision to do surgery is very risky. If I were his coach, (as if) I would be looking for errors in the training program before cutting into his hip!

Get well soon Tyson - your a beast when your healthy!!!
